Intermittent Fasting: Month 6

Over the last two months, despite fasting @ 600 calories three days a week, my weight has plateaued at around 70+ kg. This is a good weight to be at (BMI 22+) so I'll now go back to a two day regime (5:2).

Some of the levelling off I put down to starting gym work-outs three days a week. I expend quite a bit of energy there, including on the resistance machines, and although I couldn't share the same planet as Arnie, there is nevertheless some visible increase in muscle mass. This extra stuff has been built, and counteracts any decrease in fat weight-wise. My waist size has continued to drop as central flab has disappeared - another encouraging sign.
